Limits
Starting point: PGM - PGM is the Netpbm grayscale format storing one sample per pixel. Color data collapses to gray on import, which cannot be undone. Some writers use JPEG-in-TIFF encoding that not every reader opens. Export TIFF/TIF from PGM at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
